Alejandro Lora
The Obsession of
Making Art without Getting Paid
It was a hot afternoon in July 2006 when Alejandro Lora arrived
at Cuba. He was wearing blue jeans, a sweater and cheap shoes. His
baggage was a handbag with some few clothes while the most voluminous
thing was a video camera HDV professional brand Sony.

The excellence is the chimera, the vortex is
the place where the efforts crowd together after a nonpareil
conflict in favor of the perfection. To reach it, besides
talent, it is necessary temperament, dissent until the
marrow and an immense amount of passion that overflows the
glasses of the most valuable dreams.
Miguel
López Montes: The Radio and Me
Las Tunas. - Miguel López Montes looks at me with
certain astonishment and tells me with his accustomed calm: "I had
not thought about that, but thinking it twice, I think Elvis Presley
imitated my hairstyle".
María
Liliana Celorrio
Me the Worst of All Women
María Luisa was a special being, not only
because she gave birth to María Liliana, she irradiated light, she
filled with her voice and her presence her house, she was a spiritual
being.
Cuba,
Haimanot's Cradle of Dreams
Las Tunas. - The applauses, that
began to be heard while the
National Flag of Ethiopia was
passing by the audience,
represented by other 16
countries.
Alberto
Garrido
The
Light Grace of the Nudes
Las Tunas. - Associating Alberto Garrido with the
topics that conform his narrative published work, it is as wanting to
look for the sun in a dark night. The sordid, caustic topics, and his
main characters victims of an endless existential monologue that eats
them away and confronts them are really the opposite of this exquisite
writer's personality of proved experience.
The Midwife of the City
Among
the famous and beloved women from Las Tunas city, the deceased Umbelina
Fontaine should have a space in the first line. She was the midwife for
excellence of the region during many years. She helped to come to this
world hundreds of children for more than 40 calendars. And, by the way,
not few personalities of the area were received with infinite love by
her skillful and venerable hands. Gee! Umbelina, oh...!
Love,
Wind and Fire
Who hasn't told me goodbye yet?
Gerardo Hernández Nordelo asks while he takes a look at the people
that have gone to say goodbye to him. Then, he finds Adriana's eyes
that were staring into him, with the sadness of a distance that
already begins to be real.
Alicia
and Her Appointment with the Life
Las Tunas. - Alicia Beatriz cannot avoid a tear
that runs down her cheek. It always happens to her when a child
passes away and she cannot do anything. Although this hard reallity
occurs every day she doesn't get used to the death.
A
Vietnamese in Las Tunas
Las Tunas. - Chances of the life, the man's courses, and
even the blessing of God, made possible that Chien and
Xiomara met one day in Verno, Czechoslovakia, and not in
Hanoi, where he is originally from.
